{"title":"Child Health Essential Skills Stations: Development, Implementation, and Evaluation of an Undergraduate Child Health Clinical Skills Course","authors":"Alexander James Harper, K. Gregoriou, Caitlin Patterson, Prashanth V Kumar","doi":"10.5812/jme-132063","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5812/jme-132063","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Training medical students to competently apply the clinical skills they will need as qualified doctors proves an ongoing challenge for clinical educators. During undergraduate study, students spend less time with pediatric patients than adult patients, making it more difficult to gain confidence working with this patient group. There is currently myriad evidence for a “skills lab” approach to clinical skills teaching, and this has taken on greater importance for teaching procedures during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Therefore, a standardized course for child health clinical skills was designed and implemented to run in a skills lab setting. This study describes a new course training five clinical skills important in child health. The course incorporates small group teaching, simulated practice of skills, and specific feedback from tutors, all within a skills lab setting. Evaluations were carried out over approximately one academic year, with a total of 174 participants from a single United Kingdom medical school. Objectives: This study aimed to implement and evaluate a standardized undergraduate clinical skills course for child health and improve students’ confidence in performing child health clinical skills. Methods: Qualitative and quantitative data were collected, examining students’ self-reported confidence (pre- and post-course), along with free-text course evaluations. A paired t-test was used to calculate the mean difference in students’ pre- and post-course confidence scores. Qualitative evaluations were analyzed for themes using framework analysis. Results: The students had greater confidence in all measured learning outcomes following the course. Qualitative data, examined using framework analysis, suggested that the course was valued by students, who felt it was relevant to their future practice. Numerous written comments suggested particular content and teaching methods that were strengths of the course, including practical elements, small group teaching, and feedback from tutors. Conclusions: Implementing a child health clinical skills course in a skills lab setting is feasible and valued by students. The course increased the self-reported confidence of the studied cohort and might therefore support them in practicing these skills with actual patients. Further studies are required to determine whether these effects demonstrate longevity and whether they translate to increased competence in performing the taught skills.","PeriodicalId":30594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Education Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88720927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this qualitative study aimed to identify and analyze ethical faults in cyberspace at Jahrom University of Medical Sciences. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted at Jahrom University of Medical Sciences over a five-year period using a qualitative approach with thematic analysis. The population included 467 students, who were divided into ten groups and had taken a medical etiquette course. The students were asked to draw their desired factors in a visual art format as tree branches while working in teams to express ethical faults and issues in cyberspace. A total of 9 focus groups and 23 teamwork documents were analyzed, and groups with comprehensive analysis of the issue were selected by purposive sampling and focus groups interview to continue until data saturation was achieved. Braun & Clark's six-phase framework was used for thematic analysis in data analysis. Results: The findings of this study identified three major themes or factors related to cyberspace, including reasons, faults, and preventive solutions that had creator-dependent 27 factors (Sub-themes) and 160 codes. These themes revealed the major ethical concepts in cyberspace from the student's viewpoint. Conclusion: As technology develops rapidly, it is crucial to ensure integrity in education for all stakeholders related to an online learning community. Therefore, educational institutions need to focus on preventing cyber faults by educating and training users.","PeriodicalId":30594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Education Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139368259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Relationship Between Academic Burnout and Hope for the Future in Medical Students: Mediating Role of the Stress","authors":"Kazem Aryaei Moghadam, Hamdollah Jayervand, B. Makvandi","doi":"10.5812/jme-135153","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5812/jme-135153","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Academic burnout, in addition to affecting different aspects of the students' personal lives, can have many negative impacts on their academic and family conditions. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the relationships between academic burnout and hope for the future through examining the mediating role of stress in medical students. Methods: The statistical population of this descriptive-correlational study included all students at Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences in 2022. Multistage cluster sampling was used to select 301 students. The research instruments included the Academic Burnout Questionnaire, the Attitudes towards Education and Career Prospects Scale, and Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire. The proposed model was evaluated using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: The results showed that the direct path from hope for the future to stress was significant (P < 0.001). The indirect path from hope for the future to academic burnout was significant with the mediation of stress (P < 0.001), while the direct path from hope for the future to academic burnout was not significant. Conclusions: Stress mediated the relationship between hope for the future and academic burnout. It was also found that the proposed model had a desirable goodness of fit and may have been considered a major step in identifying the factors responsible for academic burnout in medical students. Given that stress was a central factor in academic burnout, it was suggested that policymakers should appreciate the necessity of providing the stressed students with support from family members and instructors.","PeriodicalId":30594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Education Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75138076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to offer the best possible services, they need to be innovative in their respective fields. Service innovation is widely recognized as one of the three strategic research priorities of service institutions. Given the vast number and types of services available, various models are adopted to achieve this goal. Evidence Acquisition: This article aims to provide a critical review of the available service innovation models and propose a comprehensive service innovation model. To achieve this objective, relevant keywords were used to conduct a literature search in databases. Initially, 1504 studies were obtained, and after a screening process, only 10 studies that were most relevant to the study's purpose were selected. Results: The model proposed in this study is an integrated form of service innovation models, encompassing the process, dimensions, required infrastructures, capabilities, and the types and outcomes of service innovation, which are discussed separately in other models. Conclusions: Service innovation is a complex and resource-intensive activity with potential long-term benefits for firms in both service and manufacturing industries. If a service company aims to establish a more sustainable strategic position based on innovation, it should examine its management process for physical, organizational, and intellectual resources.","PeriodicalId":30594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Education Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72508508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ahmady","doi":"10.5812/jme-128485","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5812/jme-128485","url":null,"abstract":"Context: During the COVID-19 pandemic and challenges, medical education with insight toward training competent students with a global vision has highlighted the necessity of a robust approach toward sustainable development (SD) on internationalization. Inevitable transformations in medical education and its internationalization component due to the COVID-19 pandemic have not yet been investigated. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to assess the current situation and propose the operational framework of internationalization for medical education with a global vision toward SD. Methods: A mixed method was applied. A critical review was conducted on English papers extracted from Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and Elsevier databases using the following search terms: Sustainable development, operational approach, educational environment, management strategies, internationalization, and COVID-19. Boolean operators were used to eliminate inappropriate hits with a focus on research goals. Ineligible studies were excluded by screening titles and abstracts. The knowledge management was applied to the related findings of the internationalization of medical education components. Results: Evidence presents a new order of internationalization components of internal and external dimensions with an educational paradigm shift to virtual programs. Assessing these dimensions indicated the requirement of implementing SD. The suggested pathway should initiate from the internal institution dimensions (facilities and budget component with generating income), followed by the external institution dimensions (sociocultural element and nation-building). Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced educational institutions to shift to virtual education. The designed framework highlights educational activities toward virtual education and earning income, empowering faculties, and meeting social needs in medical education to achieve SD.","PeriodicalId":30594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Education Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80081006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A holistic, well-defined process for initiating CT is essential to promote critical problem-solving in HPE students. Various perceptions of CT have emerged from different paradigms and disciplines. Integration of this variability into the CT process could be beneficial for medical educators to develop CT in learners. This study aimed to outline the CT process in view of the multiple conceptualizations of CT. Evidence Acquisition: In this narrative review, SID, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases were searched. After studying 35 selected articles, the CT process was formulated based on the multiple conceptualizations of CT. Results: Multiple perceptions of CT, emerged from disciplines and paradigms, should be incorporated into the CT process to achieve strong CT. In view of this multiplicity, not only the CT skills but also its dispositions are of key importance in the CT process. Furthermore, the essential role of the context in which the CT takes place, one’s own creativity, metacognition over the thinking process, social construction of meaning, caring to others, and seeking problems through challenging the systems should be considered. Conclusions: We outlined the CT process, grounded from multiple conceptualizations of CT, and advocated for the use of it by HPE students to promote critical problem-solving in facing complex challenges during their professional careers.","PeriodicalId":30594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Education Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86627364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
